TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JAMES R. IIAGGHRTY, of Hillsdale, Hillsdale county, Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hemmers for Sewing Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to an improved hemmer for sewing machines, and consists in a hemmer having hinged edge-tumors. The accompanying drawing is :1 perspective view of my improved hemmer.

A is a'plate, by which the hernmer is attached to the sewing machine. B is the hammer-plate, the edge turners C C being hinged at c and e. A spring, (1, holds the edge-tumors down upon the cloth or other material to be hemmed. By means of the hinges c c, the hemmor can be adapted to every kind of cloth which can pass under the foot of the machine.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A hemmer, provided with hinged edge turners, substantially as and for the purposes described.

JAMES R. HAGGERTY.
